- The abbreviation of Hertz is symbol Hz
- It is the unit of frequency in the International System of Units (SI).
- It is defined as the number of cycles per second of a periodic phenomenon.
- Hz can be prefixed; commonly used multiples are kHz (kilohertz, 103 Hz), MHz (megahertz, 106 Hz), GHz (gigahertz, 109 Hz) and THz (terahertz, 1012 Hz).

What is the unit of frequency measured in cycles per second?
Frequency is no longer measured in cycles per second. It is now measured using the unit 'hertz' (abbreviation Hz). However, one hertz is exactly the same thing as one cycle per second.
Which of the following is the correct unit of frequency?
Frequency is measured in Hertz. Its symbol is Hz.
Where did Hertz originate from?
The name of the SI unit Hertz is derived from the name of German physicist Heinrich Rudolf Hertz.
What are the standard units for frequency?
hertz Hz
What does higher hertz do?
The meaning of higher Hertz is high frequency.
What does the abbreviation MHz stand for?
Mhz stands for Mega Hertz
What is the abbreviation for megahertz?
MHz (Hertz is named after Heinrich Rudolf Hertz, therefore is capitalised.)
The frequency of a wave is measured with what unit?
Hertz which is scientist's name. In short Hz Actually it is per second ie s-1
What does the abbreviation Hz mean?
It means Hertz, it is a unit used for measuring frequency in cycles per second
What is the unit of frequency measured in cycles per second?
Frequency is no longer measured in cycles per second. It is now measured using the unit 'hertz' (abbreviation Hz). However, one hertz is exactly the same thing as one cycle per second.
Another word for voltage?
electromotive force (abbreviation: EMF or emf)
How do you convert seconds to hertz?
Hertz are a frquency, so if you have 1 hertz it is 1 hertz/second if you have 2 hertz =2 hertz second and so on, so a Intel processor at 2.4ghz would be 2.4 billion hertz a second.
What are The units of frequency are called?
Hertz. Hz
GHZ stand for what?
GHz is an abbreviation used to represent gigahertz. Hertz is the speed of the cycles often used for microprocessors. Gigahertz just refers to one billion cycles per second.
How far is 900MHz in feet?
MHz is the abbreviation for megahertz. 1 million Hertz = 1 megahertz. A hertz is a measurement of frequency = 1 cycle per second. 900 MHz = 900,000,000 cycles per second. This is not a figure which can be translated into distance. Your question is akin to asking what is 60 miles per hour in tons.
Are there fractional frequencies of a hundredth hertz or thousandth hertz or millionth hertz etc?
Unsure.
What is another word for hertz?
Hertz is the unit of measure for frequency, named after Heinrich Hertz
